if it wasn't picked...what the hell would be the point in growing it??

Fruit is one of the best things you can put in your body. Where i live, there are heaps of orchids, mainly oranges. The farmers make heaps of money from it. And i sometimes work bagging oranges. I get paid 25 cents per bag, but i can make 100 bags an hour. So $25 an hour for bagging oranges isn't to shabby, i think it's pretty sweet actually.
